Cool Halloween Costume Ideas For Looking Hip

Hip costumes. Everyone wants their costume to be cool, but the hip is more than cool. This is an amazing super hero costume you spent months putting together does not mean much if you are one of ten people with the same costume idea. To hook up, you have to think outside the box. And we are here to help. Here are four tips to help make your costume more than cool.

1 Think outside the box. Super heroes, vampires, and pirates are all common costumes. Common is not hip, so consider something unusual. When in doubt, visit your favorite online costume site and browse their costumes. Often, you can find a costume, costume or in part, that you could turn into something unusual. We also consider second hand shop, as there are many great vintage clothing options that could be turned into costumes.

2 Less is more. You do not have elaborate costumes, full face makeup, a wig and that is completely decked out for Halloween. Sometimes, a few props are all you need to make an impression on what you are trying to be. If you go as a silent film star, for example, you can wear a cigarette holder, or wear a faux fur wrap. You do not need both items, and purse, and a few other things.

3 Make your own expense. Store bought costumes are nice enough, but really cool, hip costume is handmade. If you can sew, consider a simple, no sew option, or try and commission someone to help you. This ensures that your costume will be unique, and if you are given the bones of our fourth proposition, it will add a special something that can not be otherwise.

4 Consider a play on words. Anyone can be a Snow White or Superman, but you know how many people dress as "too much time on their hands" or a head trip? These types of bones can often be without much work and money, and they are great for busy people or those who do not believe all that tricky.

5 When in doubt, dress like a bohemian. Find some skinny jeans, a dark band t-shirts, shoes old school, and maybe some thick rimmed glasses. For authenticity, consider shopping at second hand store or consignment shop, because the number of hipsters often trade in these places. When in doubt what to wear, Google Image Search and YouTube video should give you references.
